It gets much worse when you look at the outliers. 9.4% of the US had severe obesity (BMI>40) in 2023.
The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany are around 1%, I couldn’t even find a number for France that was more than “<1%”.

Honestly better stats for the US than I thought they’d be. Surprised that my state’s obesity rates are better than any number of European countries despite the situation here still not seeming great.
Wondering if that is an endorsement of things my state is doing right or an indictment of the countries in Europe that are somehow worse.
